I was thinking about getting a cali king as my first snake but recently saw a picture of an albino nelson milk snake and fell in love :)

What are these like compared to cali kings? Are they more skitish and would you recomend one for a first snake?
(I will be a first time snake owner but have handled snakes alot, so im not a complete beginer when it comes to handling)

Thanks

Nelsons would be fine as a first snake, as for being the same temperament as the cali it is down to the individual snake but they are generally tame snakes.

The Nelson was one of my short list being a chilled milk but when I went to check out half a dozen or so milks and handled the Pueblan, she turned out to be the most relaxed (and, IMHO the most beautiful), so she was the one I went with. Try to handle a few and see which feels most chilled out

1 Pueblan Milk Snake; 1 African Mantis; several of it's locust lunch mates; various Stick Insects); 1 Doberman; several cats; and 5 fish
